After careful evaluation, the scientific committee of the Swiss Tourism Awards then selected the city of Azerbaijan and awarded the prize:

“An invaluable melting pot of cultures and treasures.”

Located in the Caspian Sea, Azerbaijan is considered part of Asia. The Maiden Tower offers a beautiful view of the city. The old town is definitely the most interesting place, you can wander aimlessly to enjoy the traditional atmosphere of Azerbaijan. The Palace of the Shirvanshahs is also a must-see that offers striking scenery worth capturing with your lenses.
